We say every week on this podcast that we talk to experts who are part of the hair industry, the beauty industry, and beyond. This week we're headed to the, "beyond" with our guest Ignacio Ladegui, one Chief Financial Officers at Airbus, a company that makes the airplanes we all fly in! Even though Ignacio is at the financial helm of a company with massive budgets and massive financial goals, the lessons he shares with us today about how to wisely navigate the financial future of your business are invaluable. We talk about everything from making a 5 year plan, to how much cash to have on hand for emergencies, to how to read and utilize financial statements.

At the Millionaire Hair Stylist we like to say that hairstylists are uniquely positioned for financial success. Our guest today, Joseph Maine, is a perfect case study of exactly why we believe this. From humble beginnings as a salon assistant in LA, to working at the side of hair legend Serge Normant, to his own roster today of celebrity clients, Joseph has truly climbed the traditional ladder of stylist success. But he didn't stop with clients in the chair! He has leveraged social media and marketing to build wealth with brand partnerships, his own product line, and now real estate. Joseph's story will inspire and inform your vision for success.

Today on the podcast we challenge the myth that you can't become a millionaire hairstylist if you live in a small market. Only those working in places like New York or Los Angeles can achieve massive professional success.

Our guest on this episode is Daniel Tetrault, known on instagram as @HairLikeABoss. His story profoundly disproves this myth. Working only out of a small Massachusetts town of 16,000 people, Dan has built a multi million dollar empire as a master of platinum and blonde hair with his own product line, Blonde Solutions. We talk to Daniel about how he spotted big market/celebrity trends to keep his prices high, how he began teaching others, and how he converted his success into a global product line.

Our guest today has a hot NYC salon and a growing product line gracing the shelves of Sephora and Anthropologie. But it's not these hairstylist accomplishments that he is most proud of, instead, Sam Brocato teaches us that real wealth and stability comes from investing in real-estate. In our conversation, we hear war stories from Sam's early days in New Orleans, how he's learned to build teams and manage stylists in his salons, how real-estate has become his financial foundation, and what advice he has for up and coming hairstylists.
